Ezekiel 23
1 Yahweh said to me,
La palabra de Yahvé vino de nuevo a mí, diciendo:
2 “You human, [listen to this parable about Jerusalem and Samaria]. Once there were two women, daughters of the same mother.
“Hijo de hombre, había dos mujeres, hijas de una misma madre.
3 They lived in Egypt. And from the time that they were young women, they became prostitutes. In that land, [men] fondled their breasts and caressed their bosoms [DOU].
Hicieron de prostituta en Egipto. Jugaron a la prostitución en su juventud. Allí les acariciaban los pechos y les acariciaban los pezones en su juventud.
4 The older [sister] was Oholah, and her [younger] sister was Oholibah. [It was as though] they became my [wives. Later] they gave birth to sons and daughters. Oholah represents Samaria, and Oholibah represents Jerusalem.
Sus nombres eran Oholah la mayor y Oholibah su hermana. Se hicieron mías, y dieron a luz hijos e hijas. En cuanto a sus nombres, Samaria es Oholah, y Jerusalén Oholibah.
5 Oholah acted like a prostitute while she was [still] my wife. She desired to have sex with those she loved—soldiers from Assyria.
“Oholah jugaba a la prostitución cuando era mía. Ella se prostituía con sus amantes, con los asirios sus vecinos,
6 [Some of them] were army officers and commanders. They wore [beautiful] blue [uniforms. They were] all handsome young men. Some of them rode horses.
que estaban vestidos de azul-gobernantes y gobernantes, todos ellos jóvenes deseables, jinetes montados a caballo.
7 She acted like a prostitute toward all the important Assyrian officials, and became unacceptable to me by worshiping all the idols of the men she wanted to have sex with.
Se entregó a ellos como prostituta, a todos los hombres más selectos de Asiria. Se profanó con los ídolos de quienquiera que deseara.
8 When she was a young woman in Egypt, she started being a prostitute, and [young] men caressed her breasts and had sex with her; and when she became older, she did not quit acting like a prostitute.
No dejó su prostitución desde que salió de Egipto, pues en su juventud se acostaron con ella. Acariciaron sus pezones juveniles y derramaron sobre ella su prostitución.
9 So I allowed the Assyrian soldiers, whom she wanted to have sex with, to capture her.
“Por eso la entregué en manos de sus amantes, en manos de los asirios a los que se dedicaba.
10 They stripped all her clothes off her. They took away her sons and daughters. And then they killed her with a sword. [Other] women started talking about what had happened to her, about how she had been punished.
Estos descubrieron su desnudez. Tomaron a sus hijos y a sus hijas, y la mataron a espada. Se convirtió en un sinónimo entre las mujeres, pues ejecutaron juicios contra ella.
11 [younger] sister Oholibah saw those [that happened to Oholah], but she was a prostitute, and she desired to have sex with men more than [older] sister had desired.
“Su hermana Oholibah lo vio, pero se corrompió más que ella en su lujuria y en su prostitución, que era más depravada que la de su hermana.
12 Oholibah [also] wanted to have sex with the Assyrian soldiers. [Some of them were] army officers and commanders. [They all] wore beautiful blue uniforms. They were all handsome young men. [Some of] them rode horses.
Ella codiciaba a los asirios, a los gobernadores y a los gobernantes, a sus vecinos, vestidos de la manera más hermosa, a los jinetes que montaban a caballo, todos ellos jóvenes deseables.
13 I saw what she did that caused her to became unacceptable to me, just like [older] sister.
Vi que se había contaminado. Las dos iban por el mismo camino.
14 But she did [even] worse things. She saw drawings of men from Babylonia on the walls, painted in red.
“Aumentó su prostitución, porque vio a hombres retratados en la pared, las imágenes de los caldeos retratados con rojo,
15 The [in the drawings] had belts around their waists and long turbans on their heads. They all resembled officers from Babylonia [DOU] [who rode in chariots].
vestidos con cinturones en la cintura, con turbantes fluidos en la cabeza, todos ellos con aspecto de príncipes, a semejanza de los babilonios en Caldea, la tierra de su nacimiento.
16 As soon as she saw those drawings, she wanted to have sex with those men, and she sent messages to them in Babylonia.
En cuanto los vio, los codició y les envió mensajeros a Caldea.
17 Then the soldiers from Babylonia came to her, they lay in bed with her, and they had sex with her. Then she became disgusted with them and turned away from them.
Los babilonios se acercaron a ella en el lecho del amor, y la profanaron con su prostitución. Se contaminó con ellos, y su alma se alejó de ellos.
18 But when she continued to openly/boldly act like a prostitute [DOU], I became disgusted with her, and I rejected her like I had rejected [older] sister.
Entonces ella descubrió su prostitución y descubrió su desnudez. Entonces mi alma se alejó de ella, como mi alma se alejó de su hermana.
19 But she became even more immoral, as she remembered when she was a young woman who was a prostitute in Egypt.
Sin embargo, ella multiplicó su prostitución, recordando los días de su juventud, en los que había jugado a la prostitución en la tierra de Egipto.
20 There she wanted to have sex with those who loved her, whose genitals were [very long], like [SIM] those of donkeys, and whose sexual emissions were huge, [like] those of horses.
Codició a sus amantes, cuya carne es como la de los asnos, y cuyo flujo es como el de los caballos.
21 So she desired to be immoral like she was when she was young, when men in Egypt caressed her bosom and fondled her breasts.”
Así llamaste a la memoria la lascivia de tu juventud, en la caricia de tus pezones por parte de los egipcios a causa de tus pechos juveniles.
22 “[represents you people of Jerusalem]. Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘I will cause those [soldiers] who loved you but whom you turned away from because you became disgusted with them, to be angry with you. I will cause them to come and attack you from every side—
“Por eso, Oholibá, el Señor Yahvé dice: ‘He aquí que yo levanto contra ti a tus amantes, de los que tu alma está enajenada, y los traigo contra ti por todos lados:
23 soldiers from Babylon and all the other places in Babylonia, [their allies] from Pekod and Shoa and [regions], and all the army of Assyria. [Yes], all of them are handsome young men, army officers and commanders, officers who ride in chariots, all riding on horses.
los babilonios y todos los caldeos, Pekod, Shoa, Koa, y todos los asirios con ellos; todos ellos jóvenes deseables, gobernadores y gobernantas, príncipes y hombres de renombre, todos ellos montados a caballo.
24 Their huge army will attack you with weapons, riding in chariots and pulling wagons [that will carry their army supplies]. They will surround you, carrying large and small shields, and wearing helmets. I will allow them to capture you and punish you in the way that they [always] [their enemies].
Vendrán contra ti con armas, carros y carretas, y con una compañía de pueblos. Se pondrán en contra de ti con escudo y casco alrededor. Les encomendaré el juicio, y ellos te juzgarán según sus juicios.
25 Because I am very angry with you, I will cause them to act [very] furiously toward you. They will cut off your noses and your ears. Then, those who are still alive, they will kill with their swords. They will take away your sons and daughters, and a fire will burn up those who remain alive.
Pondré mi celo contra ti, y te tratarán con furia. Te quitarán la nariz y las orejas. Tu remanente caerá por la espada. Se llevarán a tus hijos y a tus hijas, y el resto de vosotros será devorado por el fuego.
26 They will strip off your clothes and your fine jewelry and take them away.
También te despojarán de tus ropas y te quitarán tus hermosas joyas.
27 In that way, I will stop all the immoral behavior that began when you became a prostitute in Egypt. You will no longer desire to do those things, or think [what you did in] Egypt.’
Así haré que cese de vosotros vuestra lascivia, y quitaré vuestra prostitución de la tierra de Egipto, para que no levantéis vuestros ojos hacia ellos, ni os acordéis más de Egipto.’
28 This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘I am about to allow those whom you hate, those you became disgusted with and turned away from, to capture you.
“Porque el Señor Yahvé dice: ‘He aquí que yo te entregaré en mano de aquellos a quienes odias, en mano de aquellos de quienes tu alma está enajenada.
29 They will be cruel and take away everything that you have worked hard to acquire. They will leave you completely naked [DOU], and everyone will see that you truly are a prostitute.
Ellos te tratarán con odio, y te quitarán todo tu trabajo, y te dejarán desnuda y descubierta. La desnudez de tu prostitución será descubierta, tanto tu lascivia como tu prostitución.
30 It is because of what you have done that you will be punished like that; you have been an immoral prostitute; you have had sex with men of other nations, and you have caused yourselves to become unacceptable to me [worshiping] their idols.
Estas cosas te sucederán porque te has prostituido según las naciones, y porque te has contaminado con sus ídolos.
31 You have behaved [the people of Samaria, who are like] your [older] sister. So I will cause you to be punished [MET] like they were punished.’
Has seguido el camino de tu hermana; por eso entregaré su copa en tu mano’.
32 This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘[You will suffer like people suffer when they drink from a cup a lot of strong alcoholic drink]: [It will be as though] you will drink from the cup that the people of Samaria drank from; a big and tall cup. Because of your drinking what is in that cup, many people will scorn you and make fun of you because there is a lot of liquid in that cup.
“El Señor Yahvé dice: ‘Beberás de la copa de tu hermana, que es profundo y grande. Se le ridiculizará y se le ridiculizará. Contiene mucho.
33 When you become very drunk, you will become very sad, [drinking what is in] that cup [MTY] will cause you to become ruined and deserted, like what happened [MET] to [the people of] Samaria, [who are like] [MET] your sister.
Te llenarás de embriaguez y de tristeza, con la copa del asombro y la desolación, con la copa de tu hermana Samaria.
34 You will drink all the liquid that is in that cup; then you will break that cup into pieces [use those pieces to] gash/cut your [because you will be very sad].’ [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
Incluso lo beberás y lo escurrirás. Roerás los trozos rotos, y desgarrará tus pechos; porque yo lo he dicho’, dice el Señor Yahvé.
35 Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘Because you have forgotten me and rejected me [IDM], you must be punished for your immoral behavior and for [like] a prostitute.’”
“Por eso dice el Señor Yahvé: ‘Como me has olvidado y me has echado a tus espaldas, por eso también soportas tu lascivia y tu prostitución’”.
36 Yahweh said to me, “You human, you must [RHQ] [the people of those two cities represented by] Oholah and Oholibah. You must remind them of their detestable behavior:
El Señor me dijo además: “Hijo de hombre, ¿vas a juzgar a Oholah y a Oholibah? Entonces declárales sus abominaciones.
37 [It is as though the people of those cities] have committed adultery and have murdered [MTY] people. They have been unfaithful to me by [worshiping] idols. They have even sacrificed their own children, who belonged to me, to be food for their idols.
Porque han cometido adulterio, y hay sangre en sus manos. Han cometido adulterio con sus ídolos. También han hecho pasar por el fuego a sus hijos que me han dado a luz, para que sean devorados.
38 They have done [disgraceful things]: They have caused my temple to be an unacceptable place for worship, and have not respected the Sabbath days.
Además, esto me han hecho: han profanado mi santuario en el mismo día, y han profanado mis sábados.
39 On the same day that they sacrificed their children to their idols, they entered my temple, which caused it to be an unacceptable place for worshiping me.
Porque cuando mataron a sus hijos para sus ídolos, vinieron el mismo día a mi santuario para profanarlo; y he aquí que han hecho esto en medio de mi casa.
40 They sent messages to men [in countries] far away. And when those men arrived, [the women of those two cities] bathed themselves for them, painted their eyebrows, and put on jewelry.
“Además, vosotras, hermanas, habéis mandado llamar a unos hombres que vienen de lejos, a los que se envió un mensajero, y he aquí que vinieron; para los que os lavasteis, os pintasteis los ojos, os adornasteis con ornamentos,
41 They sat on a beautiful couch, with a table in front of it on which they had put incense and [olive] oil that belonged to me.
y os sentasteis en un lecho majestuoso, con una mesa preparada delante, en la que pusisteis mi incienso y mi aceite.
42 Soon there was a noisy crowd around them. Among the crowd there were men from Sheba who had come from the [of Arabia]. They put bracelets on the arms of the [two] sisters and put beautiful crowns on their heads.
“La voz de una multitud que estaba a gusto estaba con ella. Con los hombres de la plebe fueron traídos borrachos del desierto; y se pusieron brazaletes en las manos, y hermosas coronas en la cabeza.
43 Then I said about the woman who had become exhausted by her having sex with many men, ‘Now allow those men to act toward her as though she is a prostitute, because that is all that she is.’
Entonces dije de la que era vieja en adulterios: ‘Ahora jugarán a la prostitución con ella, y ella con ellos’.
44 So they had sex [EUP] with those two women, Oholah and Oholibah, like men have sex with prostitutes.
Entraron a ella, como se entra a una prostituta. Así entraron a Oholah y a Oholibah, las mujeres lascivas.
45 But righteous men will condemn them to be punished, like women who commit adultery and who murder others are punished, because those women commit adultery and they murder [MTY] others.
Los hombres justos las juzgarán con el juicio de las adúlteras y con el juicio de las mujeres que derraman sangre, porque son adúlteras y tienen sangre en sus manos.
46 So this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: Bring a mob to attack Samaria and Jerusalem, and allow that mob to cause the people of those cities to be terrified, and to rob them.
“Porque el Señor Yahvé dice: ‘Traeré una turba contra ellos, y los daré para que los arrojen de un lado a otro y los roben.
47 The mob will throw stones at [to kill them]; they will cut them into pieces with their swords, they will kill their sons and daughters, and burn down their houses.
La turba los apedreará y los despachará con sus espadas. Matarán a sus hijos y a sus hijas, y quemarán sus casas con fuego.
48 In that way I will cause them to stop their immoral behavior. It will warn other women to not imitate/do what you people of Jerusalem are doing.
“‘Así haré cesar la lascivia de la tierra, para que todas las mujeres sean enseñadas a no ser lascivas como tú.
49 [people of Jerusalem] will be punished for your immoral behavior and for your worshiping idols. Then you will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
Ellos pagarán su lascivia sobre ustedes, y cargarán con los pecados de sus ídolos. Entonces sabrás que yo soy el Señor Yahvé’”.
